FIFTY years ago the average weight
of beef cattle was 800 pounds; now it is
400 pounds. The increase Is due to in
PRODUCTION of pure bred stock and the
more careful breeding, as we'll as the
much better feeding of the produce. 1t
is now as common to have animals 1900
pounds AS it was to have them 1900
pounds, and the increase in weight is
fully one third. The improvement in far

double in weight since the large intro
duction of Polled Angus, Hereford, and

his direct testimony. When Mr. Nicoll,
on cross. examination, asked him to state
his views, he said: ave DO j., not fight
against any particular government. We
do not especially fight the government Of
the United States. We are opposed to
government as such; We think power
held by the government should be abol-
ishsd.

ANNEXATION.

The Walla Walls Statesman and
some Of the Sound papers are declaring
that tbs majority Of the people OF
Washington Territory are opposed to
annexation. We do not believe there
are twenty voters this side of the Gas
cads mountains who are opposed to the
measure in any sense of the word. The
settling Of the permanent site for the
capital Of our territory or our future
state has probably caused some of the
Sound people to oppose annexation.
There is just as much reason to-day
Why the Northern counties of Idaho
should be annexed to our territory as
there was twenty years ago or at any
subsequent time. The signing Of the
late petitions is positive evidence that
tho citizens Of those Northern counties
are unanimous in their desire to be
Joined to our territory. For twenty
years they have been begging to ioin US,
and for the same number Of years have
our people been demanding that they be
granted the privilege Of casting their lot
with Us in the future great state that is
soon to be created in the northwest cor
ner Of our republic.
As our own population increases, and
% We near the time for putting on the
dignity Of statehood, is it becoming US to
forget our past pledge to those people ?
Il it 10 conformity with the dignity and
honor Of good citizens for US to now say
10 those four Northern counties awe
don't want to be bothered with you
hanging to our skirts, We now have
population and wealth enough to be able
to paddle our own canoe. It is now,
every man for himself and the devil take
the hindmost.
The four Northern counties of Idaho
are geographically SO situated that the
people living within their limits are
dsbarred from enjoying such liberty as
they have right to demand. They
have called on our people to help liberate
them, We have pledged our support to
their cause, and now, at the eleventh
hour, is it to be said that any citizen of
Washington Territory has turned bis
back to those people and has raised up
his voice against them? For Heavens
sake don't let such stigma be cast on
the fair name Of our commonwealth.
We started into the fight because it was
an honorable one which effected the
happiness and prosperity of many good
people. Their cause was never better
than to-day. and upon our honor we have
no right to desert them Boomerang,
